Spring Window Art

We create flowers to decorate our classroom windows. They hide the safety grill, and they make me feel like I'm teaching kindergarten, well, in a real garden.

We get inspiration from Flower Garden, by Eve Bunting.

It's about a girl who buys flowers for her window box. The illustrations are simply gorgeous!

And the picture of the girl looking past her window box of flowers, down at the city street below, makes me happy. It reminds me of my favorite street corner in Greenwich Village--Macdougal and Bleecker--where creativity flourishes like flowers in my imagination.
